About the Program
Looking for a meaningful way to help protect the desert’s unique wildlife? By symbolically “adopting” an Amargosa pupfish, you will directly support conservation efforts at Ash Meadows National Wildlife Refuge—the largest remaining oasis in the Mojave Desert and home to nearly 30 species found nowhere else on Earth. Established in 1984 by the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service, this refuge is home to a system of desert springs and the rare creatures that depend on them.
All profits from the Adopt a Pupfish program go directly to the Ash Meadows National Wildlife Refuge Fund, supporting on-the-ground efforts to protect this remarkable desert haven. Each tote is a proud reminder of your commitment to preserving a place unlike any other.
Join us in safeguarding the future of the Ash Meadows oasis. Adopt a Pupfish today and carry your tote with pride—together, we can ensure these rare desert treasures will be around for generations to come.
Your pupfish “adoption” funds scientific research and programs that keep this rare ecosystem thriving. No, you will not receive an actual pupfish. Instead, we will send you an exclusive tote bag—perfect for everyday use or as a meaningful gift to any fellow nature lover.
